The police continue to hinder access to medical care for the former political prisoner.

Mikalai has serious problems with teeth after many years in prison. Autukhovich needs to have a CBCT scan and a surgery to place dental implants. He also needs to have a full physical examination. Autukhovich cannot do it in Vaukavysk, where he lives, or the Hrodna region, because there are no CBCT scanners in local hospitals, a charter97.org correspondent reports.

He cannot leave Vaukavysk without permission from the police. Mikalai Autukhovich applied for permission to go to Minsk in April, be his request was declined.
